and i welcome you watching live from moscow now to our top story a three year old russian boy has died in the u.s. allegedly at the hands of his adoptive mother the claims come a month after a new law came into effect banning american citizens from adopting russian children following similar cases moscow is demanding severe punishments for the death of maxine quiz men however according to russian diplomats the u.s. state department has so far been reluctant to cooperate with an investigation marina portnoy has this report. that this case unfolded in texas according to officials three year old maxime died on january twenty first at the hands of his adoptive mother the conducted by russia's investigative committee revealed that

maksim was beaten by his adoptive mother who according to officials also fed him strong psychotropic medication and investigators say that the boy allegedly died before medics arrived at the scene but that it was his adoptive mother who had called the medics to begin with an autopsy reportedly show that maksim suffered multiple injuries to his head his abdomen and internal organs prior to his death officials say the three year old boy's arms legs and head were also covered in scratches and bruises this is just one of twenty cases when a russian adopted child dies in the custody of an american family here in the states some examples include back in two thousand and eight a russian boy died after spending nine hours in a car with temperatures reaching up to thirty two degrees celsius but his adoptive father faced up to ten years in jail for manslaughter however he was found not guilty and walked free there was

a case in which an american mother. boarded her adoptive russian son on a flight to moscow and giving him just a note saying she doesn't want to be his mother anymore in the few weeks past few weeks russia did adopt legislation banning u.s. adoptions of russian children it was criticized by many saying that it prevents russian children from having a better life in american families russian officials say but the new law it's targeting the u.s. legal system that according to russian officials has been treating cases of russian children of cruel treatment or manslaughter with it admissible leniency. fortunately is usually months although the russian child has done to the american side informs us about it and want. it was five years after annoyed died and that's how our cooperation with us works if they do not inform us fast enough or the information is not reliable the right tens of thousands of russian adopted children are leaving in the us and we haven't got

a clue about the lives of most of them there is no confirmation that they're all right and they're not being to be related to what if you want to show it's an investigation into the death and that maksim is still ongoing to find out the greater details i'm already been all for several books on international adoptions says despite washington's promise to better investigate the abuse of russian children by their american adoptive families the longstanding problem still hasn't been properly addressed this is been the ongoing problem and what russia has been demanding from or from the u.s. for years is follow up but the united states is not set up to follow up on adoptions once they're finalized that's been a thorn in the side of russian officials for good reason with these now twenty eight cases of abuse that have resulted in the death of these twenty four children and we don't know how many other children are. living with abuse or you know that

haven't died from it that could always lead to rafael correia is celebrating having secured a third term as the country's president colleagues from r.t. spanish channel spoke to the newly reelected leader and among other issues asked him about his take on the future of the world's top whistleblower and wiki leaks edited using the sun she were men who remains holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. it it's up to europe now is it ecuador has used its sovereignty to do what it had to do i mean our country doesn't have to ask anybody for political or offer explanations but we're facing an immense arrogance and a policy of neocolonialism they want us to provide some explanations over the granting of asylum why on earth should we do that given way and on top of that they want us to cancel that decision and we will never do that. well activist and radio

show host solomon commish says it's korea's opposition to the white house that could keep him in office for quite some time. since been on the ground with most ecuadorians as well as the growing sentiment throughout latin america is that those who continue to align themselves with the u.s. unconditionally are not going to find support from the people of people who eventually are the ones who are going to be casting their ballots during these elections has been outspoken against us the new york colonization has been an outspoken against all of the new your liberal agenda and u.s. imperialism first quite some time folks are done with this whole all model where we're going to continue to be can you know continuously emperor ritually dependent on us and it's his corporate interest that those days are done hopefully. as the case relations with europe turn increasingly sour london appears to be seeking an alternative market to support its debt stricken economy the british prime minister is on a three day visit to the country's former top colony india in

a bid to will officials and investors david cameron has called on new delhi to cut regulations and red tape to encourage truong to try ties with the u.k. pm says britain wants to become india's economic partner of choice the visit comes as france also seeks to expand its ties with the rapidly growing asian economy just last week president francois hollande was in india to hammer lucrative deals some observers say london will face challenges in winning i need delhi. the size of the delegations certainly show the aggressive nature all right mr cameron's drive to seek trade abroad right now prime minister cameron is not the best friend all the rest of the you especially france and germany so i think the interests of the two countries france and britain are quite separate britain feels that because of

the historic all relationship with india. britain can. then perhaps first where the indian government however i would say this the historical memory of colonial rule doesn't sit very well with the indians still. reports reveal the u.k. has already made a killing by selling weapons to an asian country accused of grace human rights violations here lanka has allegedly bought more than three million pounds with a small arms and ammunition from london despite the country's record of mistreating minorities and suppressing separatism antiwar activists jim brown believes the u.k. is placing geopolitics over human rights. of course there's the jews to teach you questions because sri lanka occupies a very strategic position. in the indian ocean you have the united states what they call the pivot toward asia which britain due to paly going along with good

relations with sri lanka would be very valuable in that context also because this whole idea that britain abides by human rights criteria in arms exports simply doesn't make sense and generally should be discounted trade is a very hard. profitable geo politically important business and that's the business which. is in general and in. particular. still to come for you this hour playing with fire. cords costs. and i see this person will sort of walk the fire with up to four children a day called with weapons in u.k. schools according to latest data we look at how the worrying trend is being dealt with and as israel continues its push for more settlements we report from

. i.

thank you and i welcome back now a pod of textbooks a lunch box and i know how is that for a regular kid and a british school back or sadly for u.k. parents a recent study shows an ever increasing number of people being caught with weapons in british school sarah first now looks into the figures and investigates the shocking trend. you probably end up in a dead end job or in prison you'll be lucky to be alive when you're sixteen. you know our parent is gone our courage is not for no for the teaching going to say anything about a stark insight into the reality facing some of britain's schoolchildren despite

having one of the best education systems in the world the latest research estimates that up to full peoples a day a court with weapons in persists cools guns knives a knuckle dusters just some of the items confiscated by police are. searching the school and. gone to the school i had. gone. on about the fire schools are supposed to be a safe secure environment where the focus is on education the figures of revealed that hundreds of weapons are being seized in schools every year with the number of violent incidents on the rise the reality for many schools across the bay is that your classmate can quickly become your enemy and the school playgrounds can be a dangerous place but it's not only the peoples who are subject to violence in

london alone this being moved in four thousand assaults on teaches peoples over the past year is it's a shocking indication of the levels of the final school it becomes normal to you and you get involved in this you get sucked into this last thing to violence the best approach. is it's just waking up in the morning and going for run yeah after a while it becomes normal to you stephen is now working with these charity x l p thirty nine hundred ninety six after school stabbing founder patrick regan has been helping young people tackle gun culture and violence a member could come. me wearing a bulletproof vest underneath a school uniform. according to patrick it's early intervention which is key in prison is forty thousand pounds a year a young person's secure unit is one hundred sixty five thousand pounds a year

a murder can be a million pounds a year to investigate so actually you know if we intervene earlier keep kids in education keep that sense of a safe place an environment where they can grow and flourish then it is far better and that doesn't take into consideration the emotional course you know i have to deal with people who've lost their sons and their daughters the gun and knife crime . so we have to address. the problem of violence in schools is not a new one but it's not something you're likely to read about in a school prospectus and it's particularly acute in the countries deprived in a city for schools on the whole do not want the public to know that they have a problem with children bringing weapons into the premises so they do not readily give the information so i guess the problem is significant or they teach it can now say people's if they suspect they're carrying a weapon many politicians are still failing to sit up and take notice and until

more is done to address the problem the children who attend these schools will continue to learn these lessons by. r.t. . and with a handful of sports stadiums across the u.k. already being named after companies petro dollars from gulf states continue to read brand britain on our website find out which of the u.k.'s military institutions is set to rename a building after the king of bahrain also online after russia's your rules were hit by ten thousand time meteorite the country scientists are rushing to develop a system that could counteract space threats on the project.

e.u. foreign ministers have agreed to review the syrian arms embargo in three months time and although there is no decision on whether to loosen the embargo to allow weapons into syria the ministers have taken the surprise step to allow greater non-lethal aid into the country but alone was enough for britain to high on the move as a victory along with france they've been striving for their right arm supplies to the rebels for months meanwhile u.n. investigators say the syrian opposition and the government are committing war crimes adding that those guilty should face justice at the hague but foreign affairs editor of the chronicle is magazine. thinks a criminal court is just a cover for a powerful act side force pulling the strings. so ultimately it's

a political court the foundation of the entire edifice is the ideology of universal political and legal culture the whole world is defined by the post-modern west so this is really a signal which is supposed to hide the essence of this project and it is to treat bashar and his government as members of the joint enterprise so are you saying this is just a choreographed pass to conceal the fact that the decision in washington has already been made but luckily bashar is proving to be a much tougher nut to crack than they expected. more news in our tape this hour police and striking workers from spain's iberia airlines have clashed in madrid airport during attempts to clear a terminal for protesting crowds iberia's staff announced a five day walkout against plans to cut nearly four thousand jobs in spanish

allegations it will be a second term in office since coming to power in two thousand and eight. despite monday's anti israeli protests in the west bank the country's value not to backtrack from its settlement plans israel's benign a disputed area of land known as the one for years even though building there might drive a stake through the heart of any future peace solution with the palestinians. investigates . it's rugged unremarkable landscape largely empty but full of meaning this is one of the west bank's most sensitive pieces of real estate for fourteen years plans to build here have existed but were kept on hold but all of that changed last november less than twenty four hours after the u.n. general assembly recognize palestine is a nonmember observer state tel aviv fast tracked construction plans here prompting

the palestinian government to call it a slap in the face of the entire world. this plan to build here is not legal according to international law which states that when one country occupies another it can or and change facts on the ground israel is doing exactly this while also getting people out of their lands soley for the benefit of the settlers. known as the one this controversial patch of earth exists between east jerusalem where palestinians aspire to establish the capital of a future palestinian state and the huge israeli settlement of ma'ale adumim it is the last remaining corridor between the large palestinian cities in the west bank and if plans go ahead in the israelis extend this area it would cut into a big chunk of the west bank effectively driving a wedge into the middle of any potential palestinian state critics have warned that filling the space with jewish homes amounts to a doomsday scenario effectively striking a fatal heart attack to the two state solution but for now the plan is to build

a garbage dump in this valley with the waste that comes from jerusalem and then in about twenty to thirty years when it's full to build a park on top of us here you can see that palestinians fear it's part of a long term strategy to extend the one and build new israeli settlements it's not surprising this is not the first time that such a plan is submitted it is a part of ongoing policy that has been growing for years now in at them to grab palestinian lands but first the israelis need to get rid of the people who live here among them around three arab jerusalem neighborhoods and a hundred and fifty bed ones for whom this has been home for nearly half a century mohammad cushion is angry he says tel aviv doesn't want him and his tribe here but it also refuses to allow them to return to their original village in the negev desert from where they fled after the creation of the state in one nine hundred forty eight when a lot of them it is discrimination they give the settlers everything that they want

or were as we do not ask for anything besides laying in the land and they want to evacuate us and our children live surrounded by war it's like being in a prison one of them that they will grow up and will not make peace in the future with the israeli side was a lot tel aviv complains the bed when camps were set up illegally without permits. and stand in the way of urban planning but critics say this is just an excuse for a land grab it makes me furious this dump site is going to harm the environment and it's going to harm the health of the people and they make it harder and harder to find a solution for the situation demolition orders have already been issued threatening to destroy the last remnants of bedwyn life in these hills and while israeli officials say the construction anyone if it happens at all is many years away it cuts to the heart of the israeli palestinian conflict which fundamentally is about the land and the fate of the people who live on a policy or r.t. in the west bank. coming up short emacs carries
